Hey I'm looking for some help selecting a case in the £60-£100 range (preferably at the lower end but I'm willing to spend more if it's gonna improve the case). So far I've liked the look of the phanteks enthoo pro. The things I'm looking for are: 1 or 2 5" bays, good cooling capacity and a large space inside the case that will be easy to work with (this is my first time building). 

Thanks for the help!

I'll pull something up in one second. What's the rest of your build? Maybe we can help with that!

Also, is there a reason you'll need those 5.25' bays?

Well, if you like Enthoo Pro, than why not an Enthoo Pro?

It's an old ish case and I'm wondering if you can get a better case for the price if you look at more recent cases. Not sure if it's missin any features or anything

I don't think it's lacking any features, and it id one of my favourite cases.

 

Maybe take a look at CM MasterCase 5 or Fractal Design Define R5.
